"brother?"

Zhan En raised his eyebrows with a calm attitude:

"You know, this year's election will be extremely lively. Many people running for the election have problems: some are secretive, some are hiding their heads and tail, some are shrinking from the battle, some have unknown sponsors, and there are even a lot of imposters."

Thales' eyes changed, while Hilley looked in disbelief at the two contestants and the tents where other contestants had prepared for rest.

"But the election was still held, and you still let them come in to compete...did you do it on purpose?"

Zhan En smiled again and pointed at the soldiers fighting in the audience:

"I dare say that at this moment, among the group of passionate players below, there are some who are hiding something fishy and waiting for action."

"What action?" Thales couldn't help but become nervous, "What are you going to do?"

"As you said, Thales, yesterday's incident with the Blood Bottle Gang was the last straw. They can't wait any longer," Zhan said lightly, "The enemies of Emerald City are coming."

He glanced at Thales and said with hidden meaning:

"And here, the election will be the stage they have been waiting for, or in other words, the cemetery."

The fierce battle in the arena once again came to a critical moment. A barren mountain man warrior had a conflict in his hand. In just a few minutes, his opponent was bleeding. With the cheers of the audience, he became more and more courageous as he fought.

"What?" Thales couldn't believe it.

"So here, this choice will be a trap set by you?"

Hilley also didn't understand and couldn't help asking: "Why, Zhan? Why here, why today? What do you know?"

"Yes, how can you be sure that they will take action during the election?" Thales asked.

Zhan En snorted:

"Because this is their only and best opportunity."

Xi Lai couldn't help but frown:

"Zhan, explain."

Zhan listened patiently as the host began to introduce the top eight contestants, and clapped and waved in cooperation.

"To put it simply, from the Fighting Banquet to now, from the inexplicable attack on the Blood Bottle Gang, to the killing of key people one after another," Zhan En's eyes were sharp and his words contained murderous intent, "I am tired of waiting and being passively beaten, and I am even more tired of it.

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light."

"So, in addition to ordering the Blood Bottle Gang to finish things off and prevent the murders from coming to light, I also sent special personnel to secretly investigate these murders, including the background of each deceased person, so that we could discover the connection between Little Bolwen and the other deceased people."

He paused and snorted coldly at Thales:

"That's why you don't have to do anything. Just sit here and spread your hands, and you can get the information and answers for free."

Thales frowned unhappily.

Hilley coughed, forcing Zhan to continue:

"And every enemy action, every murder, brings Kathleen's investigation closer and closer to them, until..."

"Wait, who?"

Thales was shocked when he heard this, and Shilai's eyes also moved.

Zhan looked at them with an intriguing smile.

"Ah, I understand, it's 'Phantom Blade' Katherine!" Shilai thought through the joints and suddenly realized, "She was originally the boss in the royal capital, but she secretly sneaked back to the Emerald City - she was specially chosen by you

Recalled back and ordered to investigate these murders!"

Thales also reacted: "You?"

"She is not an official, so it is easier for her to do things."

Zhan En sneered and nodded:

"Although she didn't quite want to."

So you don’t feel bad about sacrificing yourself? Thales couldn’t help but think.

"Damn it, she didn't tell us before that she accepted your mission..." Xi Lai said unhappily.

"Not only that," Thales couldn't help but said, "She even said that you were going to kill her and kill her to silence her?"

"I guess it's because she wants to protect herself," Zhan stared at Thales with confidence. "She fell into your hands, and she knew that you were not on the Emerald City side, so she deliberately hinted to you: I am her enemy. This way.

First of all, whether you feel pity and want to pity her, or you think it is profitable and plan to rebel against her, Kathleen has a chance to survive."

"Fuck," Thales' head hurt when he heard it, "so many twists and turns?"

At the same time, he couldn't help but notice that as the host introduced the top eight contestants one by one and warmed up for the team battle, more and more guard members gathered around D.D below the stands - Wyatt, Miranda

, Glover, Konmuto...

But their expressions became increasingly stiff.

Thales wanted to ask them, but found that no matter how he waved, no one from the Star Lake Guard even looked up.

It was as if he was deliberately avoiding the prince's gaze.

They... aren't making bets together, are they?

"Thousands of hidden treasures, this is the sword bitch of the Emerald City, and this is also the reason why she can hold her position." Zhan En seemed to be feeling emotional.

"So, we were all fooled by her, you bitch who doesn't tell the truth," Heeley said bitterly, "If I had known, I should have thrown her to...ahem, that killer."

"Then what? What else did Kathleen find out?"

"Nothing," Zhan shook his head to deny it, but smiled mysteriously, "In other words, before she really touched the key and found something..."

"The Blood Bottle Gang has gone crazy," Heeley added with a frown, "I guess the reason why the news of Caguire's murder on the street spread a lot this morning is because the Blood Bottle Gang is in chaos and you can't do anything about it anymore.

Transferred?"

Zhan nodded and his smile disappeared:

"Kathleen is missing. At least half of the bosses and leaders in the Blood Bottle Gang have not been heard from..."

"I told you." Thales shook his head.

"...The remaining half started to grab territory and share the cake. It was noisy. The gang members at the lower level, including the industries they were covering, were all panic-stricken. They were also suspicious of each other and wanted to find someone who could keep their word.

It's difficult, let alone getting the work done." Zhan En said calmly.

"So, the chaos caused by the Blood Bottle Gang was not an accident," Hilley said seriously, "but our enemies discovered it: not only were you using the Blood Bottle Gang to cover up the news and prevent them from spreading panic, you also sent Kathleen to chase

Ask for them?"

"So they couldn't hold back and took action," Thales nodded: "Set a trap to surround the Phantom Blade and paralyze the Blood Bottle Gang?"

"Muddy the lake," Heeley frowned, "and ruin your eyes and ears."

Zhan took a deep breath.

"This is only temporary. When this matter is settled, I will have some free time..."

Zhan En's eyes were sharp, but he then took a deep breath and regained his composure.

"But at least I know one thing: my countermeasures are effective: from Moss to Slimani, while I used the Blood Bottle Gang to block the news, the damage to Emerald City was also minimized.

Whether they wanted to cause an uproar or lead you to attack me, the enemy failed." Zhan En looked at the two people with surprised faces, "So they became anxious and couldn't hold back, so they had to appear from behind the scenes and directly attack

The blood bottle helps."

Thales took over the conversation: "So the Blood Bottle Gang failed to function. You were no longer able to cover up the news of Caguire's murder, and you could only watch this murder shock the whole city?"

Zhan sneered.

"Change the angle, Thales, change the angle," the Duke of South Bank's eyes were clear, "Our enemies, whether they are Sona's old party or employees of the Secret Service, they have done so many things and killed so many people.

, everything ended silently due to my intervention, and I failed to successfully spread the news..."

"And seeing the Emerald Celebration passing day by day, and the prince's pursuit ending without success, they finally made up their mind to make a desperate move and let Luo Sang come to the stage and take action directly to eliminate the Blood Bottle Gang..."

"So..." Thales understood something and his eyes changed slightly.

Snap!

Zhan applauded gently:

"First of all, after waiting for so many days and paying a huge price, they got what they wanted for the first time this morning: Caguire was killed in the street, which was known to the whole city and made people panic, making it impossible for the Emerald City to turn a blind eye - these enemies

From a personal perspective, it must be quite exciting: Duke Iris finally made a mistake and exposed his flaw."

"Could it be that..." Xi Lai's eyes widened.

"Secondly, in addition to the rare success, they also waited for a rare occasion: the highly anticipated and highly anticipated Iris candidate - don't forget, whether it is a murder case, rumors, killings on the street, or purging gangs,

They have done so much just for an opportunity to declare revenge and spread terror to the entire Emerald City and even the kingdom."

Zhan looked at Thales:

"Just like Anke Bailar, you have to kill people to get people to listen."

Thales tightened his fist: "Don't mention his name again."

Hilley couldn't help but glance at Thales.
To be continued...
